Who is My Enemy? ...The title of a thought-provoking book by Rich Nathan - pastor of an American Vineyard church. (It is praised by Brian McLaren which gives it a certain kudos in today's post-modern climate).
The thing that attracted me to this book was firstly hearing him speak, and secondly the book's subtitle, "welcoming people the church rejects". He spoke at the New Wine national leaders conference in May 2003 about, amongst other things "Creating a Culture of Welcome" and that has really influenced how I seek to do ministry in my church.
I liked that he managed to talk of welcome without making it sound woolly and permissive.
